P.S. what would you say if you complain about a drone over your villa (at a Hotel with a no drone policy) and they answer: Sorry, we canīt do anything. The user is a VIP!
Would you pay the stay or return?
Sorry but the whole argument of ultimate privacy (for me at least) just doesn't work in a public resort. If I go to one I know I'll probably end up on someone's photos. And like it or not, hotels do favour those spending more. I'm not saying this is right but that's how they are. $8k for a stay during low season in the Maldives isn't really what a resort like Dhevanafushi will class as high spend. I'd never actually schedule a stay at a resort and then reach out to the GM asking that they ban drones in preparation for my stay - it all seems very melodramatic.
